The swordplay controls were better than other game, namely Demon's Souls, what i'm playing right now. And DS has pretty damn good controls. Actually, SS combat mechanics are better than in any game, but just DO NOT WAGGLE. This is no Twilight Princess. Also, i have no idea why anyone would stand up while playing an adventure that took me 70 hours to finish.

The controls remind me of The World Ends With You. It's some of the most ambitious use of the 21st century controls and arguably the best ever...but while it's often better than normal controls, it also has more flaws than if it had more traditional controls.

@shadowkaby Good job on removing the spoiler. Sorry if I sounded harsh, but I didn't like that massive spoiler. 12 spaces? Well, I guess your keyboard was acting funky (I figured it out, see EDIT: at bottom). Well, good job. Accidents happen. Here's an idea:Standard Spoiler Alert:

Spoiler Alert

(Type this by putting 2 =s around *Spoiler Alert [second asterisk after Spoiler Alert too]).....(See the five lines of space?)Spoiler(type this by putting the spoiler in between (del) & (/del) [use brackets instead of parenthesis])...(see the extra 3 lines of space?)

Spoiler Alert Ahead!

EDIT: Ah, I get it, when you put too many lines of space, NLife shortens it. Put . in each extra line of space.

@VincentV Thats way to excessive, one Spoiler Alert in BOLD is plenty with 1 -2 lines of space. I dont know anybody that reads more than one line at a time so spoilers are easily avoidable if you use this thing called your brain. Also a spoiler end in bold at the end aswell, i usually just put my spoilers in the text with no spaces and nobody complains... some people are such whiners...
